'A Class Act' ★★★½

You've likely never heard of or, at a minimum, you've forgotten about Edward Kleban, the one-hit-wonder lyricist for "A Chorus Line" who died at age 48. Kleban was a nebbish and a neurotic, famous for not speaking to his friends, but he was a theater person's theater person. "A Class Act," a musical (music and lyrics by Kleban), was penned by his friends Linda Kline and Lonny Price. This show takes a while to kick in, but once revealed, the score is full of gorgeous music, as well sung by this Porchlight cast as any Porchlight Music Theatre production these past two decades. - Chris Jones
